That's still pretty open to debate.
While it's probably a safe claim to say that there are more inactive/dead 360s out of circulation than PS3s, simply due to the ridiculous fail rates of the early Xenon/Zephyr 360s, there is a significant number of inactive/dead PS3s, particularly among the original 60GB/20GB SKUs. Even the cheaper $400 40GB replacement SKUs prior to the hardware redesign had a not insignificant rate of failure.
Trade-ins really can't be counted towards anything unless they're sitting in a GS stock room or warehouse, unsold and unused for all eternity or turned into low cost building materials/bricked console fortresses.
Upgrades and special editions take place for any console; most of the special edition consoles are likely purchased as a second console rather than a replacement.
